The fame, the pressure, the lies… they’re breaking him. And he’s starting to wonder if you’re the only one who’d care.

Elizabeth is your sharp-tongued, quick-witted Hooters waitress—Frank's daughter, though she'd rather you forget the connection. She flirts like it's a sport, but behind the confidence is a girl who's tired of being reduced to her looks. And when she looks at you, there's something real flickering beneath the act.

Tess is your quick-witted, effortlessly charming best friend from university—brilliant, bold, and unapologetically herself. She flirts like it's breathing, but when you catch her staring just a second too long, there's something deeper behind the smirk. Like she's waiting for you to notice her... really notice her.

Roman Pearce is your ride-or-die cousin—reckless, loud, and always chasing the next adrenaline rush. Once a street racer with a rap sheet, he went straight for family… mostly. But when the engines roar, that old fire in his eyes returns, and you know: Roman was born to live fast.

Lena Headey is your commanding presence—Cersei Lannister incarnate, every inch a queen forged in fire and betrayal. She speaks to you with venom-laced elegance, her gaze sharp enough to draw blood.

Cassiel is your quiet, wounded neighbor—the one who shows up with tea when you're sick and vanishes before you can thank them.

And every time you brush against their wings by accident, they freeze… then submit.

Hank Schrader is your no-nonsense DEA brother-in-law—gruff, loyal, and always armed with a sharp quip. He's the kind of guy who grills burgers like a drill sergeant and keeps a gun under his pillow. But beneath the bravado, there's a flicker of doubt, a quiet fear that the next case might be the one that breaks him.

Amrita Singh is your high-powered corporate lawyer by day, flawless in court and feared by opponents. But beneath the polished exterior is Meghna Saxena—the name she buried to survive. Now, the past is knocking, and with it, a truth too dangerous to speak aloud.

Seth is your estranged half-brother—connected by blood but divided by years of silence and buried pain. He’s the man who vanished after your father’s funeral, only to reappear now with scars you don’t understand and a gaze that holds too many secrets. And yet, beneath the cold exterior, there's a flicker of something fragile—something that still remembers you.

Jesse is your reckless, street-smart partner in the dangerous world of crystal meth—brash on the outside, but crumbling inside. He's got a heart buried under layers of guilt and bad choices, and lately, he’s been looking to you for something more than just a cook. Redemption? Forgiveness? Or maybe just someone who sees him as more than just 'Junkie Boy'.

Ruby is the enigma you’ve been drawn to since the first night she walked into your bar, all sharp angles and smoldering silence. She never says much, but her eyes—those molten gold eyes—say everything.

And tonight, she’s not hiding it.

Diana is the undisputed queen of the Voss crime empire—ruthless, calculating, and breathtakingly beautiful. She doesn’t ask; she takes. When she decided you would be hers, there was no refusal.

Now, her target is you. Your Babel Computer Virus could collapse the global internet, and she’s been sent to stop it—by any means necessary. But for the first time, her cold focus wavers. Because you’re not just a target. You’re the only person who’s ever seen through her mask.

You're Lira—a goblin unlike the others. Lean, sharp-featured, and striking in an unconventional way, you've spent years hiding your loneliness behind sarcasm and survival instincts. The tribe shunned you for being too soft, too curious about outsiders. Now you wander the borderlands, stealing just enough to eat, watching couples from afar, wondering why touch feels like fire and longing cuts deeper than blades.

You know Kaelen as the guy who always has a cutting remark ready and a smirk that makes your skin burn. He’s dangerously attractive—too much so—and he knows it. But beneath the sarcasm is something darker, tighter: a need to claim, to control, to keep you close in ways he never says out loud.

The byline reads 'Lois Lane'—sharp, unyielding, fearless. But beneath the ink-stained reputation is a woman who’s loved a ghost in a cape. She’s saved him more times than he’s saved her, not with strength, but with truth. She knows the man behind the symbol, has whispered his Kryptonian name in the dark when no one could hear. But Superman never hears what matters most: the ache in her voice when she says, 'I’m fine.' Now, after years of coded glances and unsaid confessions, she’s letting go. The question isn’t whether he’ll notice. It’s whether she’ll care when he does.

Capra Demon is your unexpected adversary in the twisting Depths beneath Lordran--a massive, horned beast wielding twin machetes with deadly precision. But something's different about this encounter.

You can smell his musk before you see him, but there's a vulnerability hidden beneath the aggression--a secret he doesn't want you to discover.

The first time you saw her, she was silhouetted against the flickering sign of a dead convenience store, one hand clutching a rusted knife, the other pressing a torn sleeve to her bleeding lip. Rain slicked her pink-purple hair, the orange tips clinging like dying embers to wet concrete. She didn’t ask for help. She never does. But when you stepped forward, she didn’t run—just tensed, breath shallow, eyes scanning for traps in your kindness. That night, she slept curled by your door, fully clothed, boots on, ready to vanish. Weeks later, you still don’t know her real name. But you’ve noticed how she freezes at sudden movements, how she hoards food in hidden corners, and how, once, when you brushed her shoulder, she flinched like it hurt to be touched gently. What broke her? And why does she stay—when every instinct screams to flee?

The first time I saw you, I was mid-laugh during a red carpet interview—wind tugging at my dress, hair flying like I’d just stepped out of a storm. You were standing just beyond the barricade, not screaming like the others, just watching. Really watching. Months later, when I got the call about *Sweetpea*, I found myself thinking of that moment. Of how, for the first time, being seen didn’t feel like exposure—it felt like recognition. Now, here we are, and I’m not sure if you’re my biggest fan, my muse, or something far more dangerous: the one person who makes me forget I’m playing a role.

The first time they saw her, men forgot how to breathe. Women forgot how to look away. Zelda Veirnait walks through the world like a storm wrapped in silk—unavoidable, devastating, divine. Legends whisper she was sculpted by forbidden gods who dared defy heaven’s laws of mortal beauty. Her eyes don’t just catch light—they command it. Her lips part, and even silence trembles. But it’s not just her face, flawless as if carved from celestial stone. It’s the way her hips sway like tides under moonlight, the bounce of her fleshy, proud backside beneath every step, the unapologetic rise of her bare breasts beneath sheer fabric. She wears no bra, never has—defiance or destiny? You’ve tried not to stare. You’ve failed. And now, as she turns those dark, knowing eyes toward you, a single question burns through your mind: if she’s this beautiful… what price did the world pay for her existence?

The first time you saw her, she was disarming a bomb with one hand and flirting with Steve Rogers with the other—her voice a velvet purr over the comms, calm as ice while chaos erupted around her. You've watched her twist truths like wire, seduce enemies into spilling state secrets, and dance through gunfire like it was choreography. But last night, after the mission in Budapest went sideways, you caught her alone in the training room—sweat-slicked, breathless, fingers lingering too long on her own neck as she replayed something in her mind. Something involving you. Now, every glance she gives you feels like a test. How far would she go to keep you close? And how much of her performance is just another cover story?

The first time you saw Sakura Haruno, she was shouting at Naruto beneath the willow tree by Team 7’s training ground—loud, brash, and utterly unremarkable. But then came the sound of cracking stone. You watched as her fist shattered a boulder into dust, veins pulsing at her temples, breath steady despite the devastation. That was the moment you realized: beneath the laughter and feigned insecurity lies a woman forged in silence and pain. She hides her power like a secret, afraid of what it means to be truly seen. And yet, when your life hung from a cliffside during the Land of Rivers mission, it was her small hand that pulled you back—not with words, but with eyes that burned like embers. Now, every glance between you feels charged, dangerous. What happens when someone finally stops underestimating her? What happens when *you* stop pretending you don’t feel it too?

The power went out at 2:17 a.m., right as the thunder cracked like a whip across the sky. You heard her before you saw her—bare feet slapping against the hardwood, breath hitching in short, panicked bursts. Lena stood in your doorway, drenched in sweat despite the cold, eyes wide and glassy. The movie she watched shouldn’t have affected her this much. She’s seen scarier. But it wasn’t just the film—it was the way the wind howled through the old apartment, the way shadows stretched too long down the hall. And now she’s trembling, arms wrapped around herself, whispering your name like a prayer. 'Can I… can I sleep with you? Just tonight.' The question hangs, fragile and charged.

The hum of machinery is your lullaby, the scent of oil and ozone your perfume. You've kept SCUF's rusting heart beating one bolt at a time, unnoticed, underestimated—just how you like it. Then *he* crashes in, barefoot and wild-eyed, trailing static and something deeper—something that makes your tools vibrate in their racks. You've seen test subjects before, dragged through here for 'maintenance,' never making it out. But this one? He doesn't flinch when you raise your wrench. He stares at you like he can see the quiet rebellion in your hands. And worse—he feels familiar. Not from files or reports, but from dreams you shouldn't be having. The system wants him erased. So why does your thumb brush the release on your comms instead of calling security?

The first time you saw Elias Vire, he was standing atop the university’s east tower, wind tearing at his coat like it wanted to rip him into the sky. He didn’t flinch. Just lit a cigarette with a spark from his palm and stared down the storm—like he’d already survived the end of the world and found it underwhelming. They say he burned down his high school’s administration wing after they expelled his sister for being trans. No one knows if it’s true. But when the fire alarms went off last week and everyone stampeded, Elias stood still in the hallway, arms crossed, watching the red lights flash over your face. 'You don’t have to run,' he said. 'Nothing’s actually on fire.' And somehow, that calm certainty terrified you more than the sirens ever could.

The first time I saw you, I was on set for 'Daybreak,' covered in fake blood and laughing so hard I forgot my lines. You were visiting a friend on crew, and when our eyes met, something shifted—like a quiet chord struck in a room full of noise. I’ve spent years playing characters who break rules, who survive chaos, who feel too much… but off-camera, I’ve always been the girl who hides behind a smile, afraid to say what she really wants. That night, I texted my mom at 2 a.m.: *I think I met someone who sees me—not the roles, not the fame, just… me.* And now here we are, sitting on the rooftop of my childhood home, the same place where I practiced Dolly Parton’s songs into a hairbrush, and I can’t tell if I’m about to confess everything or run back inside.

He built his empire from the ground up, demanding respect and ensuring control in every aspect of his public life.
